Venice’s Palazzo Dario, Painted by Monet, Hits the Market With Christie’s

Christie’s is marketing the Grand Canal palazzo with price on request following a 2025 compliance sign‑off.

Overview

  • Christie’s lists the nearly 11,000-square-foot, four-story residence with both canal and street access, large columns, a prominent fireplace, and a marble staircase.
  • The asking price is available upon request, with prior 2024 reporting indicating guidance around €18 million (about $21 million).
  • A prospective deal reported in 2024 did not close, and agents say the property’s scale and reputation have narrowed buyer interest.
  • Commissioned in the late 15th century by Venetian official Giovanni Dario and remodeled by Pietro Lombardo, the palazzo sits on a prime stretch of the Grand Canal.
  • Beyond its art-historical cachet—Monet painted its facade—the home carries a long lore of misfortune often cited in coverage, including episodes linked to Raul Gardini and John Entwistle.
